Synopsis

The long-awaited DVD release of John Sayle's classic lesbian romance - a truly pioneering and essential queer film.

Review

Director-writer Sayles' exceptional and humorous exploration of the coming out of the "good wife" offers a compassionate view of lesbianism, self-determination and unrest. Lianna (Linda Griffiths) confronts her husband's infidelity, falls in love with her female graduate instructor and sets out on her own. Sayles directs with a sensitive hand, and his perceptive screenplay contains many vulnerable and tender moments examining one woman's budding lesbian self-realization.
